Flows in which the primary features of interest do not rely on high-frequency acoustic effects, but in which long-wavelength acoustics play a nontrivial role, present a computational challenge. Integrating the entire domain with low-Mach-number methods would remove all acoustic wave propagation, while integrating the entire domain with the fully compressible equations can in some cases be prohibitively expensive due to the CFL time step constraint. For example, simulation of thermoacoustic instabilities might require fine resolution of the fluid/chemistry interaction but not require fine resolution of acoustic effects, yet one does not want to neglect the long-wavelength wave propagation and its interaction with the larger domain. The present paper introduces a new multi-level hybrid algorithm to address these types of phenomena. In this new approach, the fully compressible Euler equations are solved on the entire domain, potentially with local refinement, while their low-Mach-number counterparts are solved on subregions of the domain with higher spatial resolution. The finest of the compressible levels communicates inhomogeneous divergence constraints to the coarsest of the low-Mach-number levels, allowing the low-Mach-number levels to retain the long-wavelength acoustics. The performance of the hybrid method is shown for a series of test cases, including results from a simulation of the aeroacoustic propagation generated from a Kelvin-Helmholtz instability in low-Mach-number mixing layers. It is demonstrated that compared to a purely compressible approach, the hybrid method allows time-steps two orders of magnitude larger at the finest level, leading to an overall reduction of the computational time by a factor of 8.

In this work we design a new domain decomposition method for the Euler equations in 2 dimensions. The basis is the equivalence via the Smith factorization with a third order scalar equation to whom we can apply an algorithm inspired from the Robin-Robin preconditioner for the convection-diffusion equation. Afterwards we translate it into an algorithm for the initial system and prove that at the continuous level and for a decomposition into 2 sub-domains, it converges in 2 iterations. This property cannot be preserved strictly at discrete level and for arbitrary domain decompositions but we still have numerical results which confirm a very good stability with respect to the various parameters of the problem (mesh size, Mach number, ....).
In this paper, we propose a numerical method for solving weakly compressible fluid flow based on a dynamical low-rank projector splitting. The low-rank splitting scheme is applied to the Boltzmann equation with BGK collision term, which results in a set of constant coefficient advection equations. This procedure is numerically efficient as a small rank is sufficient to obtain the relevant dynamics (described by the Navier--Stokes equations). The resulting method can be combined with a range of different discretization strategies; in particular, it is possible to implement spectral and semi-Lagrangian methods, which allows us to design numerical schemes that are not encumbered by the sonic CFL condition.
In this paper, we study the low Mach number limit of the full compressible Navier-Stokes equations with revised Maxwell law. By applying the uniform estimation of the error system, we prove that the solutions of the full compressible Navier-Stokes equations with time relaxation converge to that of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations as the Mach number tends to zero. Moreover, the convergence rates are also obtained.
We present a new mesoscale model for ionic liquids based on a low Mach number fluctuating hydrodynamics formulation for multicomponent charged species. The low Mach number approach eliminates sound waves from the fully compressible equations leading to a computationally efficient incompressible formulation. The model uses a Gibbs free energy functional that includes enthalpy of mixing, interfacial energy, and electrostatic contributions. These lead to a new fourth-order term in the mass equations and a reversible stress in the momentum equations. We calibrate our model using parameters for [DMPI+][F6P-], an extensively-studied room temperature ionic liquid (RTIL), and numerically demonstrate the formation of mesoscopic structuring at equilibrium in two and three dimensions. In simulations with electrode boundaries the measured double layer capacitance decreases with voltage, in agreement with theoretical predictions and experimental measurements for RTILs. Finally, we present a shear electroosmosis example to demonstrate that the methodology can be used to model electrokinetic flows.
Most fluid flow problems that are vital in engineering applications involve at least one of the following features: turbulence, shocks, and/or material interfaces. While seemingly different phenomena, these flows all share continuous generation of high wavenumber modes, which we term the $k_infty$ irregularity. In this work, an inviscid regularization technique called observable regularization is proposed for the simulation of two-phase compressible flows. The proposed approach regularizes the equations at the level of the partial differential equation and as a result, any numerical method can be used to solve the system of equations. The regularization is accomplished by introducing an observability limit that represents the length scale below which one cannot properly model or continue to resolve flow structures. An observable volume fraction equation is derived for capturing the material interface, which satisfies the pressure equilibrium at the interface. The efficacy of the observable regularization method is demonstrated using several test cases, including a one-dimensional material interface tracking, one-dimensional shock-tube and shock-bubble problems, and two-dimensional simulations of a shock interacting with a cylindrical bubble. The results show favorable agreement, both qualitatively and quantitatively, with available exact solutions or numerical and experimental data from the literature. The computational saving by using the current method is estimated to be about one order of magnitude in two-dimensional computations and significantly higher in three-dimensional computations. Lastly, the effect of the observability limit and best practices to choose its value are discussed.
